Chicago, Illinois This volume of Hirschberg's history carries British ophthalmology to the early part of the 20th century. The Napoleonic campaign in Egypt (1798-1801) brought devastating trachoma to the British Isles. The Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital (Moorfields) opened in 1805. Wardrop, Adams, Saunders, and Travers were succeeded by Bowman, Hutchinson, Nettleship, Gunn, and Jackson. The major London hospitals are described, together with a few outside of London. The volume is first class and once again we are indebted to Professor Blodi for his enduring scholarship and energy in bringing this translation to us.
In May 1986 the Third International Symposium on Diagnostic Visual Optics was held in Tirrenia, Italy. This volume records the proceedings. There are four historical papers, seven papers on evaluating ocular structures, eight papers on applied optics, three papers on opto-electronic visualization of the fundus, five papers on subjective ways of assessing visual function, and six papers on objective techniques for testing visual function.
